Naser wins 400 m in 48:14 !!!!!!!! (Video)

Wrong. 3rd best of all time. Shaunea Miller-Uibo 2nd with 5th best all time.

You are right, 3th best performance:

The top 10 before

1 47.60 Marita Koch GDR 18.02.57 1 Canberra 06.10.1985

2 47.99 Jarmila Kratochvílová CZE 26.01.51 1 Helsinki 10.08.1983

3 48.16 Marita Koch GDR 18.02.57 1 Athínai 08.09.1982

3 48.16 Marita Koch GDR 18.02.57 1rA Praha 17.08.1984

5 48.22 Marita Koch GDR 18.02.57 1 Stuttgart 28.08.1986

6 48.25 Marie-José Pérec FRA 09.05.68 1 Atlanta 29.07.1996

7 48.26 Marita Koch GDR 18.02.57 1 Dresden 27.07.1984

8 48.27 Olga Bryzgina UKR 30.06.63 2 Canberra 06.10.1985

9 48.45 Jarmila Kratochvílová CZE 26.01.51 1 Praha 23.07.1983

10 48.59 Tatána Kocembová CZE 02.05.62 2 Helsinki 10.08.1983

That puts Naser in at 3rd best performance and performer.

the new list will now have Miller-Uibo at 10th best performance, and 5th best performer.

It's gonna be hard for any event to top that one. Uibo was very surprised to see how far behind she was, coming out of the turn.

For my money, Naser just set the world record.

What a great race. I was shocked at the US commentating on the race. I was all for playing up Miller-Uibo. And while the mentioned Naser, they failed to hype her up enough failed to mention one key thing - SHE'S UNDEFEATED ON THE YEAR at 400. How do you not mention that?

A rare mistake by Ato Boldon.

Anyway, fantastic race.

Right before the gun went off, I almost put $100 on Miller-Uibo but thought to myself the pay out wasn't high enough. I'm not betting against an undefeated woman when the profit was only going to be $20.

Wow, nearly a 1 second pr for Naser...so how long until she tests positive?

I hate to be the pessimist, but the only athletes under 48.5 are products of state-sponsored doping programs during an era of nearly unrestricted anabolic steroid usage and Marie-Jose Perec who was affiliated with known dopers (HSI and Marita Koch's husband) and had suspicious withdrawal from 2000 olympics.

Do you really want to be the “3th”best performer of all-time on a list like this? I’m sure the extreme weather made for very fast conditions, but that’s not good company she’s in.

I do think there is a very good likelihood that Miller-Uibo is a clean athlete. I really hope that she is.

How many times will Naser break 49 again in her career? Take your gold and run the hills

Where is Sydney McLaughlin? Why isn't she in the World Champs? Thanks.

Something amiss with Burundi Athletics. Look at all the results and notice the surge of upper level performances. No, not all are medaling, but they are putting a lot of people in finals and hitting some great marks with their athletes. Remember, we are talking about Burundi, a country of 10ish million.

She was a child prodigy who made her first WC final aged 19 and has progressed evenly as a senior.

Naser's also a child prodigy, but her jumps in progress have been a bit too mighty for me.

Naser runs from Bahrain and is from Nigeria...

Yes, for most doped up skum.

48.14. How about giving some love to the track? I've run on similar "carpet" tracks and they are hard and fast. And I would say a significant improvement on tracks from the 1980s. Sad that at a "track" and field meet, NBC Sports paid little to no attention to the track on which the meet was run. Guessing that Doha did not skimp and installed the latest space age track version. Plus, being an enclosed stadium with an open roof, cuts down on wind, where in the 400m a tailwind on the backstretch has to be paid back by a headwind on the homestretch (although it does eliminate the possibility of a swirling tailwind all the way around a 400m race).

I’m shocked The message boards didn’t call her a man.

What a mindblowing run! Koch's 47.60 suddenly doesn't feel so mystical. Although I agree that we probably just saw the legit WR happen.

I also liked how they played a remix of the famous Tetris theme in the introduction, as the game was made in the era of the two 47 times, lol.
